Carte blanche

Arguably the best tactical formation: the old 1⁠-⁠4⁠-⁠3⁠-⁠2⁠-⁠3⁠-⁠2.


One could make a case for adding a “9” (false nine) between S and CF who drops back just in front of, or even behind, AM.

It is now fashionable to use ILBs and IRBs (“inverted” left- and right-backs). I don’t see the need; I should think others could cover the space.
